Kendrick Lamar teaming up with Imagine Dragons sounded like a classic case of the Grammys teaming up two unrelated artists for no particular reason. But against all odds, their performance of “m.A.A.d. City/Radioactive” worked. It was a loud, wild mess, but it had Kendrick hitting a big ass drum and Taylor Swift white-girl Coachella dancing, which is about as memorable as the Grammys get.

I expected this to suck wildly, but this worked mostly because of how great Kendrick is. I also like that they split the songs up instead of trying to do a true “mash-up” (that word just makes me cringe).

They went overboard on the muting though, did he really let loose that many curse words? It really took away from the performance.
